Although the month of October is one of my favorite months of the year, it is the busiest month for our family and so it goes very quickly! So quickly that we do not have time to put up regular blog posts. So here was our October. In between crazy schedules we enjoyed some fall fun. Charlotte really enjoys decorating and this years decorating day was lead by Charlotte herself. She did a great job helping me inside and she did the outside of the house with a little help.
A couple of weekends ago we went to Shaw Farms to pick pumpkins. We met Grandpa and Gibby and got to ride a hay ride (best deal in town), saw some animals, played at the farm and Charlotte got to take a farm train ride. She was thrilled as you can see.
Later that evening we went to Grandpa and Gibby’s house for dinner to carve pumpkins.
On Halloween night Grandpa, Gibby and Tiki came over to partake in our block party with neighbors. Charlotte and Oliver were Elsa and Olaf and not to be out-shined, Gibby and Tiki were scarecrows! We had a delicious dinner and then all the kids took off for trick or treating adventures. Charlotte knew exactly what she was doing as she had already trick or treated at preschool that morning. Oliver just thought we were taking a walk with the whole neighborhood. As soon as we walked up to the first house and he saw that he was getting “treaaaaaats!” he was off and didn’t slow down.
We had a very busy month and got to do some really fun things as a family. Now it is November first, it is snowing and we have banana bread in the oven! We welcome November and some lazier schedules!
